DiMauro 1944 St. Louis Blues

Here´s another "St Louis Blues" from 1944 in a sadly bad condition that needs repairs and restorage. Someone painted it all over with some cheap laquer (even the fretboard!), the original bridge has been replaced with a selfcut one. Around the tailpiece it looks like someone has tried to sand the laquer down...very ugly.So here´s a lot of work again...
